FREE workshops are being held tomorrow for anyone who would like to take part in the borough jazz festival parade on July 14.

The sessions, from 1pm-4pm at Wigan Pier, provide the opportunity to work with artists from Action Factory Community Arts to decorate umbrellas, make banners and props to parade on the day.

Individuals or groups are welcome - groups should contact the Arts Officer Angela Chappell on 01942 828560.

The parade will launch this year's International Jazz Festival, with music from the Redrose marching band.
